Student Mentoring Week is the result of IIDA’s ongoing efforts to acknowledge the important role that students play in furthering the design industry. IIDA Student Members are paired with local design and industry professionals to gain critical day-in-the-life interior design experience.

We are looking into hosting a firm tour in San Francisco over Spring Break, but before we delve too deeply into the planning process, we would like to have a headcount of how many people would be interested in attending. We would like to have at least 10 attendees or more before we proceed. Please fill out this survey and let us know if you are interested in attending or not! Thank you! 🙂

Bring along your mentor or mentee and join us at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, November 26th, at Charlie’s Cafe, located on the 2nd floor of Design North. Also, please bring a White Elephant gift (under $5) for our gift exchange!

Last week, we held our Mentor Match on September 18th. At the event, mentees (freshmen & sophomores) met their mentors (juniors & seniors). The pairs were assigned to each other based on the results of the mentoring survey we sent out after the Mentor Mixer event on September 11th. Throughout the year, mentees can meet with their mentors for guidance regarding any software issues, portfolio reviews, the milestone, or any other questions they may have about ASU’s Interior Design program.
